Charles Rogers, Detroit LionsOwner: Justin of Omaha
Year of Purchase: 2003
Age of Purchase: 20
Why is It Terrible?: I bought this piece of trash immediately after he was drafted, when I was 20. I had my Sanders and Herman Moore jerseys in the 90's, but once they were both gone, who were my choices? James Stewart or Joey? Call me crazy, but I wasn't impressed with those options, so I was totally amped when Rogers came to town. It didn't really seem like a horrible choice at the time; I seem to remember everyone being pretty high on Charlie (no pun intended) when we took him second overall. Four years later, I'm out fifty bucks and left with a completely unwearable relic of wasted talent. Plus, to really pour salt in the wound, we burned the second overall pick again this year to replace Sir Smokes-A-Lot and his bulbous cousin in futility, Mike Williams

Technically any Lions Jersey purchased in recent years could be up for nomination here.
Well it could, couldn't it?
so you're saying you're gonna get a Calvin Johnson jersey, right?
In all fairness, Rogers started off well, you know until breaking his collarbone like three seasons in a row. He needs an IV pumping milk into his bones to stay on the field.
I don't think he'd be worth a damn even if he didn't have Osteoporosis, or whatever the hell makes him so brittle. For chrissakes, if teams are giving Justin Gatlin a run, why hasn't he gotten another chance?
Cause in the meantime he runs a 4.9 in the 40 yards dash. Thats quiet slow compared to Justin Gatlin
